What Info Jeunes Normandie - CRIJ does

Info Jeunes Normandie (Centre Régional Information Jeunesse Normandie, or CRIJ Normandie) is a non-profit youth information association (Association déclarée) under French law, headquartered in Rouen with a second office in Caen. The organization coordinates a regional network of more than 50 affiliated Info Jeunes information points covering all six departments of Normandy (Calvados, Manche, Orne, Seine-Maritime, Eure, and Eure-et-Loir) and serves young people aged roughly 12 to 30 with free, public-interest guidance. Core thematic areas include orientation and training, employment (jobs, apprenticeships, CV preparation, summer jobs), housing (CROUS residences, private rentals, financial aids), civic engagement and volunteering (Service Civique, voting, citizenship), and international mobility (study, work, volunteering abroad, European programs). The organization is governed independently with Benoit VANNIER listed as Directeur de la publication, and operates as part of the broader French Information Jeunesse public-policy network.

The product portfolio combines digital services, in-person guidance, structured programs, and events. The website hosts a job and housing listings platform (offres et annonces) and publishes comprehensive thematic guides. Programs include La Boussole des jeunes (a government digital service for locating nearby free youth services), Mobil'Infos 76 (a mobile information service operated in partnership with the Seine-Maritime department), Civic'up 27 (funding of up to €1,500 for Service Civique volunteers in Eure, with CAF de l'Eure and SDJES de l'Eure), Project'Eure Jeunes (CAF-funded project grants for youth aged 12-17), Pair à pair Info Jeunes (peer-to-peer mutual support), and Les Promeneurs du Net (youth workers maintaining an educational presence on social networks). Annual events include Summer Jobs Forums in Caen and Rouen, organized with France Travail Normandie and Mission Locale. The technology stack is a standard content/listing web platform; no proprietary software, AI features, mobile app, or API exposure is disclosed.

All services are provided free of charge to end users; the operating model is funded by recurring public subsidies and institutional partnerships. Funders include Métropole Rouen Normandie, the cities of Caen and Rouen, the departmental councils of Calvados and Seine-Maritime, CAF family allowance funds across five Normandy departments, the European Union (via Europe Direct Normandie Caen, DiscoverEU, and the European Youth Card), France Travail Normandie, Académie Région Normandie, and the Fondation Renault. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization employs approximately 15 staff and operates from two physical locations; the broader 50+ point network is delivered through partner municipalities, mission locales, and community associations that share the Info Jeunes brand and mission.

• European Youth Card Association (EYCA): Nonprofit distributing the European Youth Card and youth discounts across Europe; CRIJ Normandie is a national partner for card distribution and benefits, making it adjacent in the youth-services ecosystem.

• Mission Locale (national network): National network of local associations providing youth employment and integration guidance (16-25). Mission Locale Caen la Mer is a direct operational partner of Info Jeunes Normandie on summer job forums.
• France Travail (ex-Pôle Emploi): National public employment agency that co-organizes Info Jeunes Normandie's job forums and partially overlaps on youth employment guidance, but operates a much broader mandate across all jobseekers.
• La Boussole des jeunes (État / DJEPVA): National government digital service for 15-30 year olds that Info Jeunes Normandie actively promotes and integrates into its own offering. Serves a similar user need at national scale.

• Eurodesk France: European mobility information network for youth embedded in CRIJ regions, covering study/work/volunteer opportunities abroad. Functionally overlaps Info Jeunes Normandie's 'Partir à l'étranger' pillar.
